I got a flashback to Zed Shaw's infamous Turing completeness quip about Python 3, except that at least his was really just a stupid joke. Here, the author is using a motte-and-bailey fallacy in which he attacks a more complex and open ended statement ("AI will Soon Replace Programmers") by instead retreating to a more straightforward and falsifiable statement (the ability to write any computer program).
